In 2011, Google (Weibo) spent 12.5 billion of dollars to buy Motorola Mobile, the Android phone maker, but this year, Google has also given Motorola Mobile sale to Lenovo Group. The big reason behind Google's bizarre decision is that the acquisition of Motorola Mobility has led to a sharp cooling of the relationship between Google and Samsung, the world's largest Android handset maker. This scene also happened between Microsoft and Huawei. More recently, Huawei's technology overseas executives have made a startling statement that no single handset maker has made any money from Microsoft's Windows handsets. Microsoft's takeover of Nokia's mobile phone business has led to a feud between Microsoft and Huawei, according to Forrester, the authoritative technology consultancy. "We haven't made a penny on the windows, and no one has actually made money from windows Phone," said Joe Kelly, a senior overseas executive, told the Seattle Times. Huawei Technology has no interest in continuing to develop and sell WP smartphones, the executive hinted. According to foreign media reports, this is not the first time Huawei technology to bombard Microsoft. Last June, Yu, the top head of Huawei's technology mobile phone business, told the FT that Microsoft WP was weak on the competitive edge of the mobile ecosystem, and that Yu also criticized Microsoft's rival machine makers for selling WP licenses. Yu said at that time, Google's Android system has been free, Microsoft's WP continue to charge, unreasonable. Thanks to the continued pressure of WP smartphone makers, this year, Microsoft's new chief executive, Nadra, announced that it would provide free WP operating systems to all smartphones, which would reduce the price of WP handsets. The various positions of senior executives show that as a WP developer of Microsoft, and as WP mobile phone manufacturer of Huawei, the relationship between the obvious cooling, what is the reason here? Jpgownder, an analyst at the Forrester research firm at the US technology market consultancy and Research Institute, the main reason for Huawei's technology to retreat from Microsoft's WP system is that Microsoft acquired the Nokia handset business and became a handset maker in person. Gao said: After the completion of the acquisition transaction, Lumia mobile phones become Microsoft WP Eco-champion equipment, which makes non-Microsoft's other WP handset manufacturers, the enthusiasm of the big drop. The analyst also said that another reason for losing Huawei's interest was the lack of competitiveness of Microsoft's WP system and its inability to compete with Apple's iOS and Google's Android system, which made Huawei's technology decision to stay away from the WP system. Microsoft's WP system has been disappointing in the smartphone market because of the slow pace of action. The current global market share of around 3% is only a fraction of Android and iOS. Worse, even before Microsoft's acquisition of the Nokia mobile phone business, Samsung Electronics, HTC manufacturers, such as the lack of interest in making WP handsets, there has been news that Microsoft to Samsung, HTC, such as the provision of a billion of of dollars in subsidies, hoping that they can sell WP mobile phones. Apparently, the acquisition of Connaught in MicrosoftKia Mobile phone business, the mobile phone industry's interest in WP, can only be further down. According to foreign media analysis, Huawei and Microsoft have another reason to quarrel with, that is, the joint competition for Nokia mobile phone business this acquisition. Yu once hinted that Huawei Technology might consider acquiring a Nokia handset business (last year, Nokia had occupied 87% per cent of WP's mobile phone market). "We are considering mergers and acquisitions: perhaps [Huawei and Nokia] have some synergies, but we need to look at Nokia's will and we remain open," Yu told the Financial Times. It was reported that Microsoft's Board was strongly opposed to the takeover of Nokia by former CEO Steve Ballmer, which was a departure from Microsoft's long-standing position as an operating system provider and would affect its relationship with handset makers, but Ballmer was adamant that he had traded in for a takeover plan at the expense of his early resignation. In fact, Samsung, Huawei, HTC and other front-line manufacturers of Microsoft WP further indifference to the outside world is expected. After Google's acquisition of Motorola Mobile, to become a mobile phone manufacturers and many of the Android camp rivals, which angered Samsung Electronics and other manufacturers. Samsung Electronics began to develop an independent Tizen operating system, hoping to get rid of the reliance on Android, Samsung to Google all the moves, but also make Google very dissatisfied. But in the end, Google decided to fix its own mistakes, after retaining an important 20,000 patents, Google transferred the remaining Motorola mobile assets to Lenovo Group. After the deal, the relationship between Google and Samsung was heating up, with Samsung promising to no longer develop its own Android user interface and make Google Play the dominant player in the Android ecosystem's digital content. The technology industry generally believes that the acquisition of Nokia is a wrong decision by Ballmer and Microsoft. Ballmer to imitate Apple's combination of soft and hard strategy, difficult to achieve success, but led to more mobile phone manufacturers abandoned WP, Android's King positioning is consolidated, in the future, Microsoft Lumia may become a loner mobile phone.
